Lenovo’s new Legion gaming mice are simple yet affordable

Add as a preferred source on Google

At CES 2022, Lenovo announced two new gaming mice alongside its range of other announcements — the Legion M600s Wireless and the Legion M300s RGB.

The two mice look almost identical, sporting a more modern design and a light-up Legion logo. The wireless model only comes in reflective silver color, while the wired model is a choice of black or white. They’re simple, but still, quite an improvement over the previous Legion mice.

The Legion M600s Wireless features the Pixart 3370 sensor, capable of delivering 19,000 DPI and a lift-off (LOD) of 1mm. It also features a 380mAh battery, providing up to 70 hours of use, and can be connected via Bluetooth, via USB Type-C or 2.4GHz by using the included dongle.

Lenovo’s top-tier mouse weighs in at 71 grams and should glide easily thanks to its 100% PTFE mouse feet.

According to Lenovo, this mouse is aimed towards claw and finger-tip gamers due to its short, low arch and slim waist, so palm-grip gamers may not be as keen on trying this mouse.

Just under the M600s is the M300s, which reaches 8,000 DPI thanks to the Optical Pixart 3327 sensor. It weighs even less at just 61 grams, making the M300s much lighter than the M600s. It still features the 100% PTFE mouse feet, but a shorter lifespan with switches that support up to 10 million clicks. Like the bigger brother, this mouse is aimed towards claw grip and finger-tip gamers.

It should be noted that even though the M600s seem to be the higher end of the two, it does not include RGB and is 10 grams heavier than the more affordable M300s.

Both mice are set for release in May; the M600s is available in silver and will retail for $85. The M300s is significantly more affordable at $30 and comes in both black and white.

Hackers leak facial recognition records tied to millions of Madison Square Garden visitors
Facial Recognition Composite

Madison Square Garden has spent years using facial recognition technology to monitor who enters its venues. Now, that same surveillance system is at the center of what could become one of the year's most troubling privacy breaches.

The cybercrime group ShinyHunters has published a massive cache of data allegedly stolen from Madison Square Garden Entertainment after the company missed a ransom deadline. According to reports, the leak includes facial recognition records, customer information, internal security assessments, and other sensitive data tied to millions of visitors. While large-scale breaches have become depressingly common, this one feels different. Most data leaks involve passwords, email addresses, or financial information. This breach reportedly includes something far more personal: information connected to how people were monitored and identified in physical spaces.

Windows 11’s modern Media Player is somehow worse than the version from 17 years ago
The modern Media Player for Windows 11 is slower and heavier than the classic version
Windows 11 media player user interface

Microsoft has released a new Insider Preview update for the modern Windows 11 Media Player. However, the app is facing criticism after tests revealed it uses more memory and opens local video files more slowly than the classic 17-year-old Windows Media Player.

The update adds some useful fixes, including better captions, clearer codec errors, and improved file recognition. But the biggest complaints remain higher RAM usage and paid codec support for some common video formats. The update is not available to everyone yet. Media Player version 11.2605.14.0 has only arrived on Experimental Insider builds as part of Microsoft’s June 12 Insider Preview releases.

If you have a Mac, you should try this free and beautifully-designed disk space tool
Radix is a free open-source alternative to paid Mac disk analyzers
File, Electronics, Mobile Phone

Running out of storage on a Mac is common, but Apple’s built-in storage tools are not always great at showing what is actually taking up space. You usually get broad categories, but finding the exact folders, downloads, app files, or old projects causing the problem can still take some work.

Radix is a free, open-source Mac app that tries to make that process clearer. It is a disk space analyzer that scans a folder, drive, or volume and displays the results in an interactive sunburst chart. Rather than digging through folders manually, you get a visual overview of how storage is being used across your drive.
